Hah yeah it’s like 75% of why I live here. There’s literally nothing that makes me more pissed off than wasting time sitting in traffic. I grew up in Baton Rouge which is a nightmare of unplanned suburban sprawl and never ending traffic congestion. And driving your own person vehicle is literally, like you explained in Tampa, the only viable option. It filled me with spite for the inability of the city to think further than it’s nose in terms of any civic or social policy.

It’s funny, my friends and family back home think we’re crazy when we want to walk everywhere that we can, while the hassle of driving/traffic/parking seems like a ton of effort to me now
